Jacquard Synthrapol

Jacquard Synthrapol is an industrial strength, pH neutral, liquid detergent used as a prewash and after wash for dyed or painted fabrics. It is also used as a wetting agent for fabric dyes and paints.

Synthrapol has the unique property of keeping loose dye suspended during washing, thus preventing backstaining while aiding in the removal of excess color.

Available in a 6 oz bottle.

Instructions:

Prewash: Prewashing fabric with Synthrapol to remove oils, waxes, starches, and sizings helps ensure an even dye job and reduces the risk of blotchy color.
Directions: Add 3 tablespoons / 44 ml Synthrapol per 8 lb / 3.63 kg washing load. For cotton and other cellulose fibers, add 2 tablespoons / 30 g Jacquard Soda Ash. Wash for at least 10 minutes using hot water and then rinse thoroughly.

Afterwash:Synthrapol helps keep loose dye in suspension and is used to remove excess color and prevent back staining.
Directions: After dyeing or painting, rinse fabric in cold water and then wash for at least 10 minutes using 3 tablespoons / 44 ml Synthrapol per 8 lb / 3.63 kg fabric. Use hot water for cotton, cool to warm water for silk and wool, and then rinse thoroughly in cold water.

Wetting Agent: Adding Synthrapol to a dye bath or fabric paint can increase dye penetration and helps ensure even coloring.
Directions: When dyeing wool and other hard-to-wet fibers, add 2 to 3 drops Synthrapol per 5 lb / 2.27 kg fabric.

To increase the penetration, coverage and adhesion of fabric paints on hard-to-wet fabrics, add 1 to 2 drops Synthrapol per 2 fl oz / 59.15 ml paint.
